In the introduction to Professor Cusack's report of 2020, on page 1, he speaks about the number of preliminary drug testing devices supplied to An Garda Síochána for roadside use having increased as a result of a further 43 devices having been released from Garda stations for roadside use. At the end of 2020, there were 130 devices available for roadside drug testing in comparison with the 75 available at the end of 2019. That is an increase of 61%. Is that figure enough? Should there be more? Should they be available at all checkpoints? What is Dr. Bedford's view on that? Am I reading it wrong?
